To all whom it may concern 7 Be it known that we, Louis B. MALINOW- SKY and CLYDE \V. KIRK, citizens of the United States, and residing in the city of Patterson and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chimney Thimbles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.

This invention is a chimney thimhle for stove pipes, and the object is to provide a device of this kind, formed from asingle I piece of sheet metal, and which will include means both for locking the thimble into the chimney flue and for locking the stove pipe into the thimble.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a side elevation, of a stove pipe joint locked in position in a chimney flue by the use of this device. v V

Figure 2 is a View of'the thimble alone.

The invention consists in forming a single piece of sheet metal into a thimble 1, forming an integral flange 2 around itsinner end for the purpose of holding the thimble in the flue 3, and then striking out a tongue t from the thimble, said tongue being cut free at the point 5 while remaining attached at the outer point 6; and then bending the V tongue outwardly and down upon the thimble to form a pipe holding element. A rivet may be employed tov bind the tongue se curely to the thimble, and a hole 8'is pierced in the end ofthe tongue, through which a Wire 9 is run and secured around the its inner end and havinga tongue struck out from the lO-of the stove curely in position.
